THE ACTIVE MAYORAL RACE

Radio Active 89FM's spin
for a mayoral win... on BREAKFAST

Wednesdays 8:10am with
Liam aka SpinMaster Q & Assistor Shannon

Potential mayoral
candidates are pitted in gameshow style against other
Wellington personalities who care about the prospect of our
capital!

Examining the home town issues, Radio Active 89FM
is doing it's duty for the city it loves by exposing the
purpose of the people who believe they have the goods to
govern! We recognise the importance of who is holding the
reins of power and we want to get under their skin and see
how they survive under the scrutinisation.

This is a
chance for Wellington to check out the future of
Wellington... Vying to take out the finish line against
Wellington's fastest mouths in town are the following fresh
faced mayoral candidates:

Stephanie Cook --- 29 Aug

John
Morrison --- 5 Sept

Mary Varnham --- 12 Sept

Kerry
Prendegast --- 19 Sept

Merepeka Raukawa-Tait --- 26
Sept

Lindsay Milkop --- 3 Oct

... versus the brash and
boisterous Wellington personalities who are more than happy
to offer their very considerate opinions (tbc): Glenda
Tuaine, Mark Cubey, Geoff Marsland, Jacob Briars, Deborah
Morris, John McGrath

If you're concerned or conversely, if
you're plainly unaware about who has the strength of
character to be mayor of Wellington - about which person who
has both the passion and the persuasion to ignite the
potential of this city while making sure the rubbish and
recycling gets picked up... then tune into Breakfast with
Liam & Shannon on Wednesdays at 8:10am. The Active Mayoral
Race... on till the postal election - weekend of 6 & 7th
October, 2001.

Last week, we all owed a vote of thanks to Malaysian PM Mahathir Mohamad for breaking with protocol during his bilateral meeting in Singapore with New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern. Reportedly, Mahathir used the photo opportunity phase of the meeting – which usually involves just an exchange of smiles and pleasantries before the media is sent out of the room – to launch into matters of genuine substance.

By doing so, Mahathir usefully exposed how New Zealand is trying to make a virtue out of sitting on the fence over the South China Sea dispute. More>>
